Response from me to Warren’s point: No, I really don’t mean “two-way conversation between reader and writer” in the sense of access to the author. I don’t mean it literally, although I accept the criticism. I’m not really happy with my own description of the writer above in any case, but what I’m pointing to, however ineptly, is the depth of the text. I’m more and more convinced of the primacy of the author in any case, and have no desire to decentre them, or force them to caper, scrape or change.
